Facility Maintenance Handyman

Description:

Buckleys Family Adventure opens this fall in Woodland Hills. 25,000 square feet. Electric go-karts, laser tag, a two-story play structure, an arcade full of machines, a commercial kitchen, and all the building systems underneath it. Somebody has to keep every bit of it running.
What youll actually do
Preventive maintenance on the kart fleet and every attraction in the building. Diagnose and repair arcade games, ticket and redemption systems, and play structure components. Troubleshoot kitchen and facility equipment. Manage parts inventory and vendor relationships. And build the maintenance program itself the schedules, the logs, the standards because right now it doesnt exist.
Who were looking for
Someone genuinely hands-on who wants to know why it broke, not just make it stop breaking today. You take as much pride in prevention as in repair. Being the person everyone relies on energizes you rather than wearing you down.
Important: this job happens in front of people. Youll be troubleshooting a kart with a family fifteen feet away wondering when they can ride. If you need to be alone in a back room to think, this isnt your role. If you can stay calm and friendly with an audience, it very much is.
Mechanical, electrical, automotive, HVAC, amusement, or facilities backgrounds all translate. Small-engine, EV, and low-voltage experience are real pluses. We care more about how you diagnose than whats on your rsum.
The honest part
Nights, weekends, and holidays things break when were busiest. Therell be some on-call. And in a first-year facility youll be discovering problems nobody documented, because nobodys been here yet. Youre effectively building this buildings reputation for reliability starting from nothing.
